IPL 2025: Suryakumar, Rickelton Fire as MI Post 215/7 Against LSG

In an exciting clash at the IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians (MI) posted a challenging total of 215/7 in their 20 overs, thanks to some dazzling batting performances. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), after winning the toss and opting to bowl first, now face a steep task in chasing down the target.

The innings saw a flurry of boundaries and big hits, with the highlight being the explosive batting of Suryakumar Yadav. A blistering half-century from Yadav, including multiple sixes over deep midwicket, helped MI maintain a steady run rate. Despite his strong showing, the star batter’s innings ended on a high as he was dismissed for 50, falling to a full and wide delivery from Ravi Bishnoi.

Rickelton Leads the Charge for Mumbai

Ryan Rickelton was the standout performer with the bat, finishing with a brilliant 58 runs off just 32 balls. His aggressive approach included a flurry of sixes, with powerful slog sweeps and well-timed shots over mid-wicket. Rickelton’s remarkable strike rate lifted Mumbai’s innings after a couple of early wickets, including that of Rohit Sharma, who departed cheaply for just 12 runs.

Notable contributions also came from Naman Dhir and Corbin Bosch, who played steady hands amidst the fireworks. Bosch’s quick-fire boundaries provided a late surge, while Hardik Pandya chipped in with useful runs down the order. However, MI’s innings was not without hiccups, as wickets fell at crucial moments, with the side ending up with a total of 215/7.

Lucknow’s Bowlers Strike but Cannot Contain Rickelton

Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi were the main wicket-takers for LSG. Avesh found success with a key dismissal of Bosch, while Bishnoi picked up the wicket of Tilak Varma. However, it was not enough to stifle Rickelton, who continued to dominate, slamming boundaries at will. Digvesh Rathi also showed glimpses of good bowling, but Rickelton’s hitting was too much to handle, as he dispatched deliveries to all parts of the ground.

MI’s Impact Players: Strategic Choices for the Challenging Chase

As MI gears up for their defense, they have a potent mix of players ready to take on the task. With the inclusion of seasoned campaigners like Jasprit Bumrah, the attack is expected to fire on all cylinders. Meanwhile, LSG will look to their Impact Player options, including the explosive David Miller and the hard-hitting Yuvraj Chaudhary, to provide the firepower needed in the chase.
